How can I determine exercise intensity based on my heart rate monitor?


When I ride my bike or use my elliptical, I strive for 75% of my maximum heart rate as recorded by my heart rate monitor. would that qualify as moderate or intense exercise? Should I be striving for 100% of my maximum heart rate for it to be intense aerobic exercise?

maximum heart rate = 220-(your age), most exercise is recommended at 60-80% of you maximum heart rate. so 75% is high moderate. you don't want to work out at your maximum heart rate it can overload the heart and cause problems.
75% of maximum heart rate is right in the middle of arobic exercise range

for aerobic development work in the range of 70-80% varying it around this - have a few easy days and a few hard days

maybe one day a week push a little harder above 85% - if you go above 90% you will almost certainly be doing an anaerobic activity - ok now and then but dont spend too long there it will sap all your energy
